FACT OR FICTION?
"Ratchet straps are all the same."

What do you think?
The fact is cheap, inferior quality and uncertified straps can fail under stress. SpanSet’s load restraint systems exceed AS/NZS 4380 standards for superior strength and reliability.

We're calling it Fiction.. Not all Ratchet Straps are the same.
Is a cheaper option worth the risk to your logistics and transport business?

Do you know what the Attachment Points are for on your SpanSet Safety Harness?

1. Confined Space Attachment Loops
These reverse folded loops to eliminate snagging and minimise metal components in contact with the body. Both loops must be used together to be effective.

2. Front Fall Arrest D Ring
A Front Fall Arrest D-Ring is a reinforced metal D-ring located on the chest area of a safety harness. It serves as an attachment point for fall arrest systems, such as a rope grab, lanyard, or self-retracting lifeline (SRL).

3. Pole Strap Attachment D Rings
A Pole Strap Attachment D-Ring is a reinforced metal ring designed to connect a pole strap (also known as a pole lanyard or work positioning lanyard) to a safety harness or climbing system. It allows workers, such as electricians, linemen, and arborists, to securely attach themselves to poles, towers, or other structures while working at height.

4. Rear Fall Arrest D Ring
A Rear Fall Arrest D-Ring is a reinforced metal D-ring located on the upper back (between the shoulder blades) of a safety harness. It serves as the primary attachment point for fall arrest lanyards, self-retracting lifelines (SRLs), or other fall protection systems.

Planning for a rescue should be part of your Height Safety Plan, but how many of you are confident to perform a rescue in an emergency situation?

If your workplace is in a remote or isolated location, the response of your team to a fall-related accident could be the difference between life and death. A person can succumb to suspension trauma after as little as 3 minutes, which doesn't leave a lot of time for the Emergency Services to respond.

That's why we train our clients in the GOTCHA2 Rescue Kit.

It's got a great lot of benefits and is available across Australia.

Do you know the Australian Regulations for Anchor Points when Working at Heights?

In Australia, ensuring the safety of workers operating at heights is governed by specific standards and regulations. Anchor points are critical components of fall arrest systems, providing secure attachment points for personal protective equipment (PPE) to prevent falls.

Key Australian Standards for Anchor Points:

AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 – Industrial Fall-Arrest Systems and Devices – Selection, Use, and Maintenance:

This standard outlines the requirements for selecting, using, and maintaining fall-arrest systems, including anchor points. It specifies that single-point anchor devices should withstand a force of 15 kN (kilonewtons) for at least three minutes. *

AS/NZS 5532:2013 – Manufacturing Requirements for Single-Point Anchor Devices Used for Harness-Based Work at Height:

This standard details the manufacturing specifications for single-point anchor devices, ensuring they meet the necessary strength and durability criteria. It mandates that single-person anchors must support a 100 kg weight dropped from a height of 2 meters and hold the load for at least three minutes. *

There are other compliance rules you must also follow:

👍 Professional Installation and Testing:
Anchor points must be installed by qualified professionals following the manufacturer's guidelines and relevant Australian standards. Regular testing and certification are essential to ensure ongoing compliance and safety.

👍Inspection and Maintenance:
Regular inspections should be conducted to identify any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Maintenance procedures must be in place to address any issues promptly, ensuring the anchor points remain reliable.

👍Documentation:
Maintain comprehensive records of all installations, inspections, maintenance activities, and certifications related to anchor points. This documentation is crucial for compliance audits and safety reviews.

👍Training:
Your team should receive adequate training on the correct use of fall-arrest systems and the importance of anchorage. They must be aware of the location of anchor points and understand how to inspect their equipment before use. They should also be able to perform a rescue from heights if required.

SpanSet Australia is an accredited RTO (RTO #91173) and offers "RIIWHS204E Work safely at heights" course from our purpose built facility in Emu Plains, Lower Blue Mountains (West of Sydney).

When it comes to working at heights, training isn’t just about compliance—it’s about saving lives. That’s why getting your height safety training directly from the manufacturer of the equipment you use is the smartest choice.
